Weapon (any sword or club), very rare (requires attunement) A typical keyblade. (Source) A keyblade is a magical weapon that resembles a large key. Some keyblades possess a sharp edge like a sword, while others are instead used to bludgeon creatures like a club or mace. It is said that a keyblade can be used to open any door and unlock any lock. While attuned to a keyblade, you can cast the spells arcane lock and knock three times per day each, without requiring material components. You regain spent uses of these spells at dawn. If you are a spellcaster, you may use the keyblade as an arcane focus for your spells. While attuned to the keyblade, the keyblade is bonded to you. If you are disarmed, you can summon the keyblade to your hand using a bonus action so long as you are on the same plane of existence.
